Meat – Let it Rest

When you cook a piece of meat, its muscle fibers contract and pull the juices to the center of the cut. Meat served right away will taste tough and dry, but a post-rest allows the muscle fibers to reabsorb the juices, resulting in a tender and succulent cut.

Loulies is our home kitchen journal where we share seasonal recipes and links to things we like.

We also have a budding vegetarian restaurant called Chaia featuring our homemade corn tacos served with local ingredients. Chaia has been operating weekly at FreshFarm markets in Washington, DC. We will be opening our first shop in 2015!

We would like to thank Tuscarora Organic Growers for providing us with such beautiful and delicious in-season produce to cook with each week. Our first shop - with an expanded menu - will open in Georgetown in 2015!
